Guest Post - A patchwork bag by Stempelientje

Our guest post this week is by Stempelientje Stempy who lives in the Netherlands. Her project is this fabulous craft patchwork bag featuring the Fantasy Castles stamp set, please enjoy.

For this
bag I used:

Fantasy Castles stamp set

Printed
cotton fabric

Cream
colored fabric (washed and ironed)

Fabric
stamping ink

Sewing
thread

PanPastels

Derwent
Pencils

Fixative

Ric rac
ribbon

I also
used a Iron and a sewing machine.

I stamped
the castle image on a square of the cream cotton and waited for it to dry.

After
drying I ironed it to fix the image.

The image
was then coloured with Panpastels.

I then
sprayed it with fixative and ironed it again.

I
finished colouring it with my Derwent pencils and ironed it again.

I cut 8
matching square pieces of fabric, all the same size as the cream square I
just stamped.

When sewing
all of them together I've put the stamped square in the middle. Make sure the
corners fit together for a neat finish.

Sew a piece
of fabric on top, and a large matching piece on the back. Sew them together so
you have a bag.

Make a
shoulder band out of fabric and decorate top of the bag and the
shoulderband with ric rac ribbon.
